Dr. Robert Ciprian, Holistic Doctor & Executive Coach
Introduce yourself! Please tell us about you and your life, so we can get to know you better.
I am Dr. Robert Ciprian. Introducing myself always causes me to reflect on the complexities and broad range of the life I am living.
My childhood shaped who I am today. I was often very sick with respiratory and immune system problems. On the other hand, I also remember having many mystical experiences such as out of body states, lucid dreaming, and what seemed to be journeys into other planes of reality. I was often quiet and well behaved as a young child and maybe that was because I was also very empathic and intuitive.
Once I reached my early teens, things changed drastically. The friends I was hanging out with became a group of thugs and I eventually became an internationally known Graffiti artist in New York City. In those days I witnessed plenty of violence and crime while hanging out in the streets. But there was always a sense that I was somehow protected and destined for something because no devastating harm came unto me.
At one point there was a spiritual shift that caused me to leave NYC and pursue a career in helping people. I was on the road to helping people heal their past and have success in their future. After a series of misfortunate events, I suddenly left New York City and moved to Los Angeles to become a doctor.
A lot has happened over the course of my education and career. I have been a Doctor of Chiropractic for over twenty years but also studied holistic medicine, mental/ emotional therapies, various energy healing techniques, and shamanism. Through my search for personal healing, I was led to some great teachers and mentors. If something profoundly helped me with the work they did, I studied and mastered it so I could help others with it. I also began to teach healthcare professionals, as well as the general public, about many natural healthcare and well-being methods.
Despite spending so much of my life in major urban areas, I love the many aspects of being in nature. I have been snowboarding for over thirty years. Recently I moved close to the water in Miami. I enjoy the arts very much and still paint graffiti-style murals from time to time (legally now though). Art is in my blood and I have to keep up my creative talents in more than one way.
I have always been fascinated with spirituality and looking for how to expand and build upon my spiritual life. This way of life adds much to my career of course. In the past few years, I have been working with Sasha Cobra the teacher, healer, and energy worker. During the first retreat of hers that I attended, she named me “Dr. Love” because of the dedication and presence I had while working with other participants.
What is your business name and how do you help your clients?
My business name is Heal Profoundly. My philosophy is that we already have within ourselves all the resources that are needed in regard to health, relationship, career, and purpose in life. But we accumulate things that block and detour the fulfillment of these things. I don’t do the healing, but I invite my clients to do the work themselves with my guidance, observation, and help while educating them about how they got there in the first place. Then we can see what is needed to move forward with the healing that has occurred, without getting off track again.
No matter how complex someone’s problems are, I see them in very elementary ways. The main elements of well-being I use for the framework of helping people are:
Mental/emotional
Physiology/biochemistry
The physical structure of the body
Electromagnetic landscape
From my perspective, these are the main things that can have dysfunction and cause any problem in life. And there is a holistic synergy between them, so they can affect each other. Furthermore, I see all of these elements as being kept in synergy and controlled by the spiritual Will. When the Will is not there we don’t have the energy to change the problems with any of the elements of well-being.
I use many tools to help people rebalance these elements of their well-being and to also help with their will to move forward in more effective ways.
Tell us about a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today.
I see the most pivotal points in my life as spiritual interventions. The most dramatic one was when I was in my mid-twenties in NYC and many things that I held dear to me fell apart over a few months. I took it as a sign from the universe to move on to a new life path and to grow out of my comfort zone. That was when I gave up the life of being around gangs and graffiti to become a doctor. The Decision initialed a series of synchronicities in my life that led me to meet mentors in all areas of well-being, to find healing for myself personally, and to eventually become a teacher and author.
Every once in a while a new opportunity arrives in life that causes me to take a new direction. I have learned to embrace the suggestions to grow and flow in life and as a result, I can help many others who are stuck or struggling because I have too been where they are.
What is your work inspired by?
My work is inspired by my journey and the personal healing I went through, and still, go through. From elementary things like healthy eating, all the way to removing malevolent spirits from people, when something seems to miraculously work for me, I master it and use it to help others. This journey has continued into my professional years of a quarter century and will not end. To me, it is a lifestyle.
I keep connecting with new mentors as I go as this helps me to never become complacent and lazy. I continuously strive for my own self-improvement and that inspires me to keep searching, learning, and helping others with enthusiasm.
Above all, I care about people and do my best to help them with their challenges. I hold very high standards for myself and am only satisfied with seemingly miraculous results.
Tell us about your greatest career achievement so far.
I regularly witness great achievements with my clients or else I would not be doing what I am doing. I have to see wonderful things happening to know I am on my right path. But one significant landmark that I had was speaking at the Secret Service Headquarters in Washington, DC.
I was invited to a few health fairs at the headquarters over the years. Then I was approached about doing a lecture for them during Mental Health Awareness Month in 2019. I proposed a talk on the topic of, “Sidestepping the effects of Mental and Emotional stress on your body” because I imagined the agents go through plenty of mental and emotional stress. I have been working with patients on these issues for over twenty years at that point and felt I had a lot to offer in lifestyle adaptation as well as removing the accumulation of mental/emotional stresses.
The lecture went well. It was attended by the heads of the medical and psychology departments as well as others. There was also a live video feed to over two hundred agents in the field worldwide. A recording of the talk can be watched on my YouTube channel.
To me working with the US Secret Service was more rewarding than working with pro or Olympic athletes. I honor their choice of career and dedication to their overall health and well-being. The ones that I have interacted with personally are very professional, mentally sharp, and at the peak of their health.
What would you like to achieve for yourself and your business in the future?
Something that I always look forward to is continuously being able to help people in better and better ways. I don’t feel that we can ever know enough or be skilled enough I will always be working on improving who I am, and the services that I offer, and being an eternal student.
I do see myself doing more group events, retreats, writing, and online services for people. I learned a lot from writing my first book, Heal Profoundly, and I am looking forward to writing more. I love working one on one with people but there is plenty of value in working with groups too.
